BULGARIAN AFFAIRS.
The Troops Take "A Hand In the So
BranJe Factions.

LONDON, July 22-Little Bulgaria is
again threatened with chaos. The new
ministry is debarred by fright from cxer.
cising its functions at the capital, and the
army threatens to proclaim the principal.
ity kingdom, with Prince Alexander
as the occupant of the throne. Doubtless
Alexander would make a very respectable
king but his chief kingly quality--com-
ancc, will forcibly initiate against his
setting foot in Bulgaria again, at least
for some time to come.
The attitude OF France increases the
suspicion that the French and Russian
Governments have combined their inter
ests and will pursue an identical European
policy, and nothing il more certain that
the action threatened by the army of Bull
garia would be Immediately followed by
the appearance of an overwhelming force
of Russian troops at Sofia.
PAsIs, July 20,-A special dispatch
from Vienna TO lie Temps says the scenes
which have occurred in the Bulgarian So
branje during the last two days were of
the most violent character. The body
comprises only remnant of its original
number owing to the forclble expulsion
of the members of the opposition, in.
Guiding Mr.. Radoslavoff the late pre-
mier, who was subsequently, arrested. In
addition to these scenes of dissension and
strife, the troops at Rustchuk have made
a hostile dem onstration against the clec-
ton of Prince Ferdinand and declare
that he shall not be permitted to enter
Bulgaria.
BUCHAREST, July 20.-It is reported
from Russian sources that the Bulgarian
government has arrested NJ. Radaslavof,
premier and minister of the interior, just
superseded. The arrest is said to have
been on charge of treason. The new
ministry, it is reported, will not at pres
ent attempt to enter Sofia. The minis
tiers are said to be afraid of the opposi-
ton of the army Of the new government.
II is also reported that the troops intend
TO proclaim the independence of Bulgaria,
and Prince Alexander, OF Brandepburg as
king.

THE COKE STRIKERS.
Prospects That n stubborn Contest
VIII Soon End.

PrrsnuRa. July 22.-Specials from the
coke regions report large number of the
strikers have resumed work, but that new
complications have arisen which may
prevent n settlement of the strike. At
many works the strikers would not go to
work unless non'union men were dis
charged, The operators refused to con.
cede this and the men returned to their
homes. At the Monmouth works trouble
is expected this afternoon and the Cover
nor has again been called upon for troops.
The coke strike just ended was one OF
the most stubbornly contested battles
fought between capital and labor. Tho
fight lasted eleven weeks and four days.
The amount of money lost by the long
idleoess cannot be accurately calculated,
but II ran up into the millions. When
the strike began fourilfths of the 1000
men in the coke region had money of
their own. but very few Of them have
enough money now to take them out Of
the district II they wanted to leave. Tho
estimated actnal expense to operators
has deem from 81, 900 TO $4,000 day,
while their loss entire will foot up to over
million dollars.

A DECEPTION CRUSHED.
Important Decision Rendered by the
Commissioncr OF Patents.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The Commits.
sioner Of Patents has rendered an import
ant decision in the case of an application
to register n trade mark for distilled
spirits, in which the words knights Of
Labor" and *. of L. dstillery" appear.
The Commissioner states that there Is no
pretcnse that the manufacturers Of this
particular brand of whisky, who seek to
register the trade mark, are Knights Of
Labor or are engaged in business with
them or under their auspices. yet dis
tinctively points to this labor organiza-
ton, or to its members, as a class as the
origin or ownership of the article to
which it is applied. In other words the
proposed trade mark Is in the nature of a
false representation and deception as to
the general public, possibly inducing them
TO purchase an article under the belief
that this is manufactured by a society in
which they have friendly interest. The
Commissioner therefore, on the ground
Of the false pretenses Of such trade mark.
refuses its registration.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Its Determinations Against the Gov
ernmens.

CHEYENNE, July 19.-The Pacific Rail
road Investigation Commission held
public session here yesterday. A number
of witnesses were examined, among them
Francis e. Warren, ex-governor of the
Territory, who testified that for some
years the Union Pacific company had
taken no part in the politics of the Terri
tory. He explained the position which
Cheyenne had hitherto held as distribu-
ting center for the business of the Terri
tory, and urged the building of branch
lines by the Union Pacific in order that
Cheyenne may continue to hold the bust
ness naturally tributary TO it. He claim
ed that the extension of the Burlington
& Missouri River and of the Chicago g.
Northwestern roads into Wyoming would
have the effect to tap the territory natur-
ally tributary to the Union Pacific and de-
prive that road and Cheyenne city of part
of their present business. In reply to the
question as to why the United States
Government should assist the Union Pa
cific to build branches, any more than it
should assist any other road to do so, the
witness said the Government should only
assist the Union Pacific to the extent
that it, the Government, would be assist
ing itself. The Union Pacific should be
held to a strict accountability for its debt.
but as in the case of any other debtor, it
should be assisted by its creditor. into
position where it could pay. Other wit
nesscs corroborated the testimony of
Gov. Warren. 1t was shown that the
Union Pacific controls the sale of Rock
Springs coal, at Cheyenne, being owner
of the Rock Springs coal mines. Mr.
Hcbard, lawyer, testified that
while clerk in the Union Pacific
Office at Cheyenne, between 1879 and
1881. coal was billed by the company to
individuals at $3.50 per ton from kock
Springs to Cheyenne, while to the Gov
ernment it was billed at So. so from Rock
Springs to Camp Cartin, short distance
from Cheyenne. On being examined by
Commissioner Littler as to the reason for
this difference, the witness was unable to
account for it.

THE CHINCH BUG PLAGUE.
An Affirming Prediction OF the State
Eutomologist Of Illinois.

CHICAGO. July ia News Springfield,
H., special says: An alarming letter
was received here to-day from Prof
Forbes, State Eutomologist in which he
states that the chinch bugs have obtained
foothold in the northern portion of
Illinois to such an extent as to assure
immense numbers of them next year.
unless weather unfavorable to their
development should intervene. He says
that the danger from this source threatens
to damage the wheat and corn crops of
1888 to an extent in comparison with
which pleuro-pneumonia and other recent
outbrakes of contagious diseases among
domestic animals will be insignificant,
Investigation in the southern sections Of
the State develop the fact that there Is
no interruption Of the chinch bug devas-
tation in that direction.
